The Sappho Service provides clinical and counselling services to lesbians, bisexual women and women who have sex with women. The service is the only one of its kind in Scotland that provides a counselling and clinical service for lesbians or bisexual women. Sappho operates from the Sandyford Initiative, staffed by Family Planning / Reproductive Health and the Centre for Women's Health and supported by the Sappho Advisory Group that involves community representatives and voluntary organizations.
A clinical service is available once a month by appointment or drop-in, offering well-woman services and advice on issues such as fertility. Referrals can be made if required to other services. Contact 0141 211 8130.
A range of counselling services are available - from drop-in support to ongoing counselling - for lesbians and bisexual women or those who may be questioning their sexual orientation, within the Centre for Women's Health. This takes place on a fortnightly basis and appointments can be made via the Centre on 0141 211 8130.
The Sandyford Library has a wide range of materials and resources on lesbian health and lifestyle issues - accessible by anyone using Sandyford services or who is a member of Glasgow City Council community libraries. For more information on the Library, click here.
